Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

6.5 out for Fathers Day lunch yesterday, made good choices but you can't always check carb content in a restaurant can you. Day relaxing at home today so control is back

Great morning results after a night out... bet your pleased


Diagnosed 13/4/16: T2, no meds, HbA1c 53, FBG 12.6, Trigs 3.6, HDL .75, LDL 4.0, BP 169/95, BPM 85, 13st 8lbs, waist 34" (2012 - 17st 7lbs, w 42").

16/6/16: FBG AV 4.6, Trigs 1.5, HDL 2.0, LDL 3.0, BP 112/68, BPM 6O, 11st 5lbs, waist 30", PWV 7.0. Lifelong migraines and hay fever gone.

Regime: 25g LCHF, run 1 mile daily, weekly fasting, occasionally longer fasts.
 
6.3 was 8.2 before bed but i was in bed most of yesterday with a bad cough and head. Is the rise normal when you dont feel well?
 
Fbg 9.7 and I don't know why.
Mind u when i did my insulin there was a problem with it's tip and only got half the insulin I twisted for. I wonder if same happened last night?
I should have tested again just before sleep.
God if a type 1 had that they could be dead!

Like I've had no insulin at all! Argh!!!
 
7.4

6.7 at bedtime I was fasting until 6pm and so I feel I ate quite a lot for supper but still pleased with the result!
 
5:7 at 9:45- up late. It's a Sunday . Fbgs now seem to be less than my 2 hours post meal. Liver has got the message just need pancreas to get it now

Yes an infection or illness is likely to raise your bs reading. I went up to 8s and even a 9 when I had a sore throat and cold.
It should fall again as you get better.
 
Majestic's? if so snap!
 
7.3 at 5.45am
 
Morning All

6.7 for me today, probably due to some bad eating choices while enjoying myself yesterday....
 
Bless you @berylc . Is it witch hazel that takes bruising out quicker. I swear by sudocrem cream, the sooner you apply the less bruising. Wish id said sooner. Sorry.
Hi ickihun, yes it is witch hazel that takes the bruising down its very effective.
